Someone recently added one of the worst websites I've ever seen to my weightloss directory. Even more shocking is that it has a PR of 4, exactly the same as my new website even though it has no relevance to weightloss. At least as far as I can tell. Plus it's on free hosting.

Please comment on "Ray's losing weight land" via the link on my directory page: http://weightlossninja.com/directory/pending_sites.php  I would post a direct link but would be horrified to give his sad site further page rank boost  Tongue If this is all it takes to get good page ranking in Google, maybe I should give up now?

Just showed up for the first time in a while.......

I, at first read I usually check whats being talked about, I went to the site, and was going to throw in a few possiblities,   but then went on to read what others were saying, when I saw the post by Wanda, and then your reaction, I almost fell out of my chair.

Anyway here are some of my thoughts on this.

1st) Why would you even want to link to this site, it has no benefit to you, and whether the owner reads this or not, I see no benefit to others either. ( I know, that was rude, but with the amount of free templates out there, anyone can make a better design then that.)

2nd) This is nothing more then a crap affiliate freebee, someone trying to make a quick buck....but with that layout, I can't imagine how.  Chances are they have other web properties, and are using them in someway to get links.

3rd) chances are someone came across this as an expired, no longer being used part of GEo, and threw that up, seeing as it already has PR

I would drop that link like a flaming bag of.........
